Why didn't Ford give you guys this?

those newfangled ecoboost 1.0 loom interesting but are still too new to be a known quantity re reliability..

Just some details. The puma has a 1.7 witch is "tuned" by yamaha. The base is the 1.4 all aluminium block. This is why the car is lighter then the fiesta. There is also a 155hp ford racing puma witch is rally ready. As with more ford of that time. It rusts easy if not well cleaned.

The ford cougar on the otherhand schould be based on the mazda 626/mx6 witch uses the same as the ford engines. So not mondeo/contour based. But still a realy good looking car.

I would love tho have one of both. The puma is one of the best driving cars around.
